Trouble Makers in South Ambler May be Made to Leave Town
A light in South An.l.der shortly after noon Saturday resulted In the arrest of Uobert l>ewls and William McCoy, both colored. The former struck the latter's wife, Grace, over the head with a club, badly lacerat¬ ing the scalp. Siergeaiil Char.ts l.^aikhouse and otlicer .lulm .Moiiai-o made the arrest on complaiiil ot Mrs. Kulu Wright, who declared tbe language and actions of lhe men were disgrai efiil.
l.ewls, who got out of jail only a short time ago and McCoy, who was also arrested by Chief of Police Dester J. Carpenter. August 23, on charge of assault and battery issued by his wife, were given a hearing before Justice of the I'eace I'rlian and each was coiiiiiiittcd to thc county jail for 00 days.
Kaw- abiding citizens are deiiiaud- Ing that both men be requested to leave Ambler as they have been di.s- turbing the peace and nye trouirjle makers, especiall.v when drinking.
County Commissioner Kredcrlci^ C. Peters virtually settled in Ih-i iiiliid;! of all who heard him speak Tuesday t vening in Klourtown that lie sponsors un hia co-candidate tor cilice of County Commissioner, Kos¬ ter C. Hillegass, and also the entire slate of the All-Counties Uepulillcan organization. ,Mr. I'eters was one ot a number of the Uepublicans on tin; All-County ticket who spoke beforo ' :114 voters, members and followers of the Whitemarsh Valley UepU'ldi- 1 an Association at their September liusiness session, who turned out in a great body to hear lhe reasons for Ihe split existing in the Uepublican Links of MontgoJiiery County toda.v,
Mr. I'eters left no douhU in the minds of the Uepublican voters that he desires to see justice melted for the taxpiM-er and a square deal for Ihe army of Uepublican voters in the County. Had these two principlc'i been pursued by those who are iu power behind the original Uepubli¬ can orgaiii'Ziition with less selfish intent, no such bitter split would have resulted in the party, no sucli disruption would have been suffer¬ ed, and a much better, much tahei division ot representation wcluld have been found on the ticket, and candidates representative of pracli- cally every section of the Counly.
"The All - County ocgujii-z-ation would never have existed, had il not ¦been for the gross seltl.shiu'ss of thu then acknowledged party leader.-j and their insatisable griili for all the power and prestige possible," .Mr. I'eters asserled. " It is a sbaaie that we are obliged to have this light and go to the expense necessar.v lo safeguard our county against seltlsH politicians' and such leaders."
Mr. Peters jiaid splendid trilniU, to Mr. Hillegass, saying, "No liffer man ever lived, nor is tliere an otiice holder who has done more to ..<ave the taxpayers' money thiin Coiiiiiiission- er Hlllegass. The light is against ,hhii for no good reason but political."

Wlieii till' issue ot making Aiiililcr :i thy town i omes to a head at llm polls next Tuesday the voter will la<-e a decision which will al'ft^t th€ . Communit.v of Ambler whlchevei way the tinal count is anuounced. There are many true argiiiiieiils given on both sides ot the question as Anibler laces local opHoji but it is not well to hold a biased-opin¬ ion, unlil the facts ot both Hides and the weight of sound argument are considered.
The issue, as has been disnisse I in the assoriation of licensed hotcb- men and restaurant men in Aiiilifcr, who have established an organl'/.a- tion here to betler control the sale of liquor in the town, is not the simple decision ot whether Amibler will be "wet" or "dry." It is In reality the decision of the .iuestion of "whether the comniunity will have legitimate, licensed, controlled places where standard and reliable alco¬ holic beverages of a questionable nature will be furnished by a low class boot-legger in a tilthy speak- ea.sy at the end of a blind alley."
The licensed retailers ot liquors in Ambler point out a few perl inent facts. The eslablishmenlH selling alcoholic beverages in .Vmbler are litensed by and under direct mucr- ' vision of the liquor Control i'.oard, j which has been working out a model ' system of control in this county, i There is also a iratti.'r of revenue to -Vmbler. The renlai value of s;ii:h establishments here appruximate.s ! $10,000 yearly. The total purchas¬ ing power locally of these eslabllsh- ments is estimated at f 175 000 year- i l.v, adding- bu.sine.ss strength to this co'inmunil.v.

A light in South An.l.der shortly after noon Saturday resulted In the arrest of Uobert l>ewls and William McCoy, both colored.

Mr. I'eters left no douhU in the minds of the Uepublican voters that he desires to see justice melted for the taxpiM-er and a square deal for Ihe army of Uepublican voters in the County. Had these two principlc'i been pursued by those who are iu power behind the original Uepubli¬ can orgaiii'Ziition with less selfish intent, no such bitter split would have resulted in the party, no sucli disruption would have been suffer¬ ed, and a much better, much tahei division ot representation wcluld have been found on the ticket, and candidates representative of pracli- cally every section of the Counly.
"The All - County ocgujii-z-ation would never have existed, had il not ¦been for the gross seltl.shiu'ss of thu then acknowledged party leader.-j and their insatisable griili for all the power and prestige possible," .Mr. I'eters asserled. " It is a sbaaie that we are obliged to have this light and go to the expense necessar.v lo safeguard our county against seltlsH politicians' and such leaders."
